To the right of that first photo are a BC-779 and an SX-28 sitting on the floor.

BTW, the T-350XM had a separate audio preamp box somewhat like the audio preamp of 
the BC-610. The T-350XM had a built in 110/220 VAC 60 Hz power supply in the bottom 
section, a built in shock-mounted VFO, and the IPA stages were all 807s, while the finals 
are a pair of 813s, it covered 1.5 through 20 mHz. the top section houses a first-rate 
antenna coupler. I have a photo here somewhere of an entire room full of those at an Army 
comm base somewhere.

I was given one by MARS when I was in that organization many years ago. Mine was 
absolutely brand-new. The cabinet that particular T-350XM is installed in is the original 
cabinet, by the way.

It is a truly beautifully designed and built transmitter and actually quite rare.

I would have NO IDEA what it might be worth though, since so few people even know of it.

There is someone in Oregon, whose info I have saved here somewhere, who collects all the 
parts of those he can find. I think he has several complete ones.
